Abstract
- The incidence of sexual behavior increased after an injection of arginine-8 vasotocin or arginine-8 vasopressin into intact male newts (Taricha granulosa). Administration of arginine vasopressin to males that were castrated 35 days earlier enhanced sexual behaviors in only those males implanted with androgen.
